The next day, Li Changan leaned on a chair and slept for only an hour. Sunlight poured into the study through the window.
"Knock knock knock..."
A knock on the door reached my ears.
Li Changan frowned and opened his eyes.
"Sir Senator." It's Director Liu who came here last night.
"Enter."
Manager Liu pushed open the study door, clasped his fists and saluted, "Sir, they are here."
Li Changan stood up, reached out and washed his face with cold water in the basin, "Yesterday we walked to the flat land in the north of Zewu County."
"There are low hills to the south. Go there today and remember to ask the local people about their situation."
"Just looking at the files is not accurate. There are still some discrepancies in the files I have read in the past two days."
Manager Liu nodded and left the study.
After a while, three young men who were several years older than Li Changan walked into the study.
"I've met Uncle Zhongyong."
Li Changan sat back in his chair, tilted his head and looked at the three people, and said with a slight smile, "You three have come from afar, so there is no need to be polite."
"This place is relatively simple, the three of you can sit wherever you like."
The three of them were in a daze.
They are all top-notch princes in the capital. Which one of them has not been domineering for many years?
Even though he has a strict family tradition and has never done anything extraordinary, even in the face of other officials, those officials never dare to show off with them.
I didn't expect to come here today to meet this newly crowned Zhongyong Bo.
Not only was the other party not as courteous as expected, but he looked completely indifferent.
"Those three are my contemporaries, so I can speak frankly." Looking at the stunned expressions of these three people, Li Changan knew what they were thinking.
"The three of you must have heard some rumors, so you thought of coming to me to get a few places in the Southern Patrol Division, so that you can be listed in the Monument of Merit."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the study room suddenly stopped.
The three people who arrived never expected that Li Changan would get straight to the point when he came up, without going around as much as they imagined.
When did official circles start talking like this?
There was no front, no clouds or fog, not even a hint.
"I'm not interested in all the twists and turns." Li Changan waved his hand, "If you want an official position, you can."
The three people were dumbfounded again.
But...can it!?
Is this enough?
Doesn't it imply some benefits?
They and their families are ready to hemorrhage.
Why did Li Changan directly agree without even saying a word?
From entering the study to now, in just a few words,
The emotions of the three of them were completely controlled by Li Changan.
"Sit down." Li Changan motioned for the three of them to sit down and talk, "Why don't you introduce yourself first, otherwise I don't know what you can do."
The three of them looked at each other, and one of them, who was wearing black brocade clothes, took the lead and said, "I am Feng Buyi, my father is the left deputy censor of the capital inspectorate."
"Strength?" Li Changan looked at Feng Buyi.
"The late stage of the sixth level of literary arts and the early stage of the sixth level of martial arts." Feng Buyi said.
Li Changan nodded and turned his attention to the next person.
"Song Siren, my father is the minister of Dali Temple." Song Siren was wearing a blue robe and looked rather bookish. "He is in the late sixth level of literary arts and the peak of seventh level of martial arts."
"Zeng Shicai, my father's Minister of Household Affairs." The third man, compared to the first two noble men, has a somewhat unruly temperament. He wears gray robes and his hair is simply tied in a bun.
"The late stage of the sixth level of literary arts, the late stage of the sixth level of martial arts."
Li Changan raised his eyebrows, "The three of them are indeed the best among men."
"Within my authority, I can give one position to three clerks."
Before the three of them got up to say thanks, Li Changan continued,
"But before that, I have something here that I still need three people to do."
heard these words.
Only then did the faces of Feng Buyi and the three of them show the expressions they should have.
This is a normal step.
Although the secretary is only the lowest official position in the town and government department, it is enough.
I was originally prepared to work hard to get it, but I didn't expect to get it as soon as I came here.
As for giving benefits, that's perfectly normal.
"I don't know, Sir Councilor..." Zeng Shicai changed his title. Since the three of them had been accepted to join the Zhenfu Division, they had to change to their official titles within the Zhenfu Division.
Decide early and have a good morning.
Li Changan took out three ministerial tokens and placed them on the table.
"I have a case here that I need you to investigate."
"Huh?" The three of them almost didn't react.
Shouldn't it imply some benefit?
Why did it become an investigation case again?
Li Changan took in all their reactions and shook his head with a smile.
"Thirteen counties in Yunyang County were severely affected by the disaster, and the disaster relief effect was unsatisfactory."
He looked at Feng Buyi and the others,
"Zewu County Magistrate Zhang Weimin and his son died in the flood during flood control."
"The three of them must have been taught well by their families and should be familiar with these matters."
"Siwu Feng and Siwu Song are responsible for the death of Zhang Weimin."
"Secretary Zeng was responsible for investigating the Yunyang County disaster relief money and grain case."
"If these two cases are investigated, I will keep the judicial badge. If the investigation fails, I will take it back."
"What do you three think?"
Li Changan leaned back on his chair and stared at the three people in the room.
Feng Buyi and the other three stood up immediately, "Don't worry, Sir Councilor, this case will definitely be brought to light."
Li Changan casually threw the extremely precious Siwu token to the three of them.
"No need to be polite."
"Is it enough to give you ten days?"
"I will definitely reply to the Councilor as soon as possible." Song Siren promised.
Li Changan just stood up at this time, and Shi Shiran clasped his fists, "Then I'll leave it to the three of you. Go early and come back early."
Feng Buyi, Song Siren and Zeng Shicai left again without even having time for a cup of tea.
Until I walked out of the county government office, I was still in a daze.
"Brother Feng, we...are we done?" Song Siren looked at the command token in his hand.
"Probably...right." Feng Buyi was also completely confused.
Nothing that was expected happened.
I thought it would be delayed for a while, and I could only enter the Zhenfu Division after giving me enough benefits.
But Li Changan is too talkative.
Even easy to talk to the point of unimaginable.
Not only did he not make any difficulties, but he also did not ask for any benefits.
As soon as I got there, I started asking them to handle the case, which was obviously giving them benefits.
"Uncle Zhongyong...could it be that he has something to ask of you and me?"
"It's hard to say. If you really ask for something, shouldn't it be done before giving the token?"
"Then what does this mean? Just give me a sign when you come up?"
Zeng Shicai was confused and suddenly remembered something,
"No, no..."
Feng Buyi and Song Siren looked over, "What's wrong?"
Zeng Shicai said, "Only the Zhenfu envoy can decide the number of Zhenfu officials."
"Li Chang'an is just a right councilor, how could he casually take out three Sifu tokens?"
"Why can he take out the token?"
Song Siren's eyes showed a thoughtful look, "Didn't your father tell you? He is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and one of the thirteen governors. He must know."
Zeng Shicai shook his head, "I can't tell. After the thirteen governors were confirmed, everyone who knew about it was personally banned from speaking by a third-grade scholar. They couldn't even say what they wanted to say."
"He just asked me not to provoke Li Changan."
Feng Buyi touched his chin, "So, I'm afraid Li Changan is more than just a right counselor."
"My father said that he is highly valued by the Thirteenth Governor."
The three of them said as they boarded the carriage.
"Who do you think the thirteenth governor is? Why do you think so highly of Li Chang'an? You even gave him the power to appoint him." Feng Bu asked.
"Who knows?" Song Siren shook his head, "I wouldn't be surprised if a third-grade scholar was sent from White Deer Academy."
"After all, Li Changan's contribution to Fengchuan is too great."
The three of them each took out their Thousand Mile Telephone Notes and reported the situation to their families. At the same time, they mobilized their forces to investigate the case arranged by Li Changan.
After a while, Feng Buyi put down the Thousand Miles Transmission Symbol and frowned slightly, "This case is not easy to handle."
The other two people looked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The Metropolitan Procuratorate gave me some information about the chief officer of Yunyang County."
"The county governor, the county magistrate, and the chief officials of the thirteen counties, except for Zhang Weimin of Zewu County, are all sent by the Fourth Courtyard and the First Supervisor for training."
"In other words, the fourteen people we want to investigate are direct descendants of the academy."
The expressions of Song Siren and Zeng Shicai changed instantly.
"Those people who died in Pingyao Mansion, except for Tongzhi, are all small fish and shrimps. Their connection with the academy is also separated by several layers, so their influence is not that big."
"But even so, it has already exploded in the capital."
Zeng Shicai's eyes flickered, his brows furrowed slightly,
"And now we have to attack fourteen direct descendants of the academy at once?"
"Isn't Li Changan afraid that he will completely offend the first prisoner of the Fourth Academy, and even White Deer Academy will no longer protect him?"
The car became quiet.
a long while,
Song Siren broke the silence in the carriage, "Li Changan is pushing us out as a shield..."
"I asked him why he was so kind and gave him the Commander-in-Chief's card when he came up."
"What do you think? Should we investigate the case or not?"
Feng Buyi slapped his thigh, with a look of great interest and excitement in his eyes, "Check! Why not check?"
"He just asked us to investigate the case, not to make the final verdict. Anyway, we handed over everything we found to him, and the rest is none of our business."
"We must not only investigate, but we must investigate thoroughly."
"I want to see if this Zhongyong Bo can still wield the sword in his hand?"
